HF (hydrogen fluoride) becomes a gas at a higher temperature than does HC1 (hydrogen chloride). This is inconsistent with the trend where the boiling point increases when moving down a group on the periodic table.
Explain the reason for this inconsistent behavior.
A)
the hydrogen bonds present in HF
B)
the hydrogen bonds present in HCL
the electropositive nature of fluorine
D)
the higher electronegativity of chlorine

answer; /// i do believe that the correct answer is (c)nuclear bond

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an   carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).

geosphere and hydrosphere.

this is because the geosphere has to do with geological events, while the hydrosphere controls all water on earth.
